I had the pleasure of meeting a wonderful local photographer, Jennifer Bernard, who has taken her love of Louisa May Alcott and translated it into a series of beautiful black and white photographs recreating scenes from Little Women. Over the next 4 days I will present a large representation of each photo with comments from Jennifer. Be sure and visit her website for more information. See link below.
Hope you enjoy these as much as I do.

Jennifer comments, “This photograph was taken at the Orchard House on an early August morning. A quick summer rain blew through, perhaps you can see the raindrops in the photograph online. The props were selected with care: (1) The chair “May” has her arm on is an exact duplicate as the chair in her bedroom in the Orchard House. (2) Geraniums by her side and a small lunch basket from the 1860’s. (3) I loved May’s spirit and love for color, even though she is photographed in black and white, her personality shines through dressed in favorite tapestry of color, topped with a blue lace hat. This image was to present the story of May’s painting of the Orchard House which can be viewed as one tours the home.”
Louisa May Alcott is My Passion
